If you forget your supervisor password, there is no way to reset
your password. You have to take your computer to an IBM
reseller or IBM marketing representative to have the system board
replaced. Proof or purchase is required, and an additional charge
might be required for the service.
If you forget your hard disk password, you can no longer access
the hard disk. The password cannot be reset and you will lose all
data and files on the hard disk. Neither an IBM reseller nor IBM
marketing representative can make the hard disk drive usable. To
use the computer, you will need to replace the hard disk. This
replacement will incur expenses for parts and labor.
I have a hard drive
The password that was created on the hard drive (especially if it came from an IBM, or HP/Compaq) cannot be removed by removing the BIOS battery. The password is stored on the firmware chip and there are no backdoor passwords.
The power on password and hard disk password are created from the BIOS setup and it is stored on an EEPROM chip on the laptop.
These password protection methods are designed to prevent unauthorized access to the laptop its data and the hard disk data. Removing the hard disk and inserting it into another computer will not work.
